These links arerelatively =heavv and as" heretofore constructed in I I7 i placing them inoperat ve posltions or at-- Fig. 2;

taching them to'thepartsas specified above,

numerous accidentsto operators havebeen met with. I 1 The prime objector the present invention is to provide a link of the type mentioned of such construction as to reduce or pra'ctically eliminate accidents to operators in.

applying links in thedesired operative positions.

In Fig. 1 of the drawings, I have shown; my invention used in connection wlt-h a pumping power mechanism andapumping "present invention being shown connecting two clevises, one 'clevis being connected With a, pull rod of the; jackmechanism and. the other to an eccentric of themechanism;

Referring to the drawings, :the power mechanism as illustrated includes [a band wheel 5 mounted 0111a shaft 6and'eccentr1cs "7 and 8, the lower eccentric 8 being the one in connection with which the C-link is employed- Projecting from the'eccent-ric is an eccentric strap 9 and an eccentric strap clevis 10, said clevlsbemg secured "to .its

In the draWings,'I have shown. this ham-,1

In the form ot'Fig. 2, the handle includes; a shank por-- tion a of materially less cross sectional area 1 than the hook body projecting outwardly 1 from the body and disposed in the plane of the body,'and an elongated knob or portion 1 90 I) also of materiallyfless cross sectional area than the hook body projecting at right angles from the portion a, with the portion I), however, lying in theplaue of the body.

' Intho form of Fig. 4c, the portion (1 cor.

respondingwith the portion aof theform r of Fig. 2, is similarly, disposed relativelyto the bodyas in Fig. 2, but theportion'b I thereof is disposed at right angles 'to the T .the jff 1 0' portion b on'its part a in place'of the elongated :knob or portions b and b" of the said forms plane of the body insteadof being in plaueoi the body as in Fig. 2.
